These Maps Show What Every State Thinks College Acronyms Stand For

When it comes to university acronyms, it can cause some confusion for the common folk who don’t know their schools. For example, there are a ton of OSUs and OUs. It becomes a hot debate amongst college football fans. South Carolina fans claim they are the USC. Tennessee fans claim they are the real UT. It’s just a mess.

So, what better way to settle this than see what the country thinks about each college acronym. A Redditor polled the college football Reddit community to see what fans think each popular acronym stands for.

Here are the results:

There you have it, folks. No surprise that some states’ results are based on location. But the results are in and UT is Texas, Tech is Texas Tech, and USC is Southern Cal. Sorry, Gamecock fans. You just have to let it go..
